Sam’s Bar Mitzvah: March 27, 2025
Round two with this awesome family did not disappoint! Sam’s older sister was one of my early Covid bat mitzvahs, so this felt like a full-circle moment. Sam was up and ready to roll bright and early on this Thursday morning. We met at the Miles Nadal JCC on Bloor, and wasted no time soaking up the gorgeous spring sunshine for some pre-ceremony pics. A little stroll, a few laughs, add in the parents and siblings and then, it was showtime. By the time we stepped back inside, the energy was buzzing—people were ready to go! Some quick schmoozing, a few deep breaths, and then Sam took the stage. He read beautifully, and with his whole grade from Paul Penna there in full chorus mode, the vibe was just right. Ceremony? Nailed it. Next stop: brunch down the hall—because what’s a celebration without great food? Delicious bites, heartfelt speeches, kids zooming around (as they do), and just like that, brunch was a wrap. Sam, you crushed it. Mazel Tov!
